The grafted Dwarf Tropic Sweet Apple is very crisp and sweet. It is a low-chill variety ideally suited to growing in South East Queensland and will often provide first fruit within 12-24months.
Growing to a height of between 2 - 3.5 metres, this beautiful apple tree can be comfortably kept pruned to 1.8 - 2 metres high and 1.5 - 2 metres wide. It is ideally suited for those wishing to grow their fruit trees in pots, though is equally suited to planting in the ground.
To produce fruit the Dwarf Tropic Sweet Apple benefits from a second variety for cross-pollination. Dwarf Anna or Dwarf Golden Dorsett are well-suited partners for Tropic Sweet.
They are a semi-deciduous tree, so will often shed all or most of their leaves in Winter. They benefit from being in a protected sunny position.
